"MRS. PEARLE RUTHERFORD. ---Among the ablest educators of Butte County, whose services in behalf of a higher standard of popular education will long be remembered by the communities with which she has had official relations, and by the thousands with whom she has come into more or less personal contact, is Mrs. Pearle Rutherford, the daughter of George Aaronson, a pioneer who came across the plains to California in 1852, setting out from St. Louis, in which city he was born. His father had come from New Jersey to Missouri, and his mother died when he was only two years of age. When four years old, he accompanied an aunt to California, and in this state he attended a country public school. He was reared on a farm, and then for a while followed mining. Later he farmed near Honcut. He died near Thermalito. George Aaronson's wife had been Mary Truesdale, a native of Chicago Heights, in Illinois. She is still living, an honored member of Mrs. Rutherford's household, while she has a son, George, a dredger foreman, who is living at Thermalito.

"The youngest of the two children, Pearle Aaronson was brought up at Honcut, where she attended the public school, after which she studied at and graduated from the Wilkins Normal School at Marysville. Thus finely equipped for work in the educational field, she began teaching at Bangor, and continued school management in this county until 1899.

"On October 25, of that year, and at the capital city of Sacramento, Miss Aaronson was married to William D. Rutherford, who was born at Wyandotte, also a member of an old pioneer family. ....(See William's notes.)

"After the untimely death of her husband, Mrs. Rutherford assumed the principalship of the Bangor School; and on the death of Mrs. Minnie Abrams, the superintendent of schools, she was appointed by the county board of supervisors to fill out the term of the deceased. By virtue of her office, Mrs. Rutherford became secretary of the County Board of Education. She is also a member of the executive board of the Northern California Teachers' Association. Mrs. Rutherford is a member of Amapola Chapter, No. 119, O.E.S., and of the Orange Grove Lodge of Rebekahs." Source: History of Butte County, CA 1918 by George C. Mansfield, B. L. pp 699-700.
